Check that you have a username and password for the outgoing (SMTP) settings as well as the incoming. Sending and receiving mail are two distinct, separate processes.

thanks for responding. I already had the mail switch turned on. any other ideas? the same thing happens on my apple MacBook Pro when I am away from home. I can only receive email. in order to send an email off the phone or laptop when I'm away, I have to use the awful webmail that spectrum cable offers. was hoping to find a more efficient work around. thanks for your help!
